(based on D. . Kennefick’s. work). Historical tidbits. 1776: Laplace suggests four mechanisms that could explain secular perturbations of Moon-Earth orbit. One the explanations was a non-instantaneous propagation of gravity, affecting the binary system (abandoned because its speed would be too large to be measurable to explain the effect). .

Gravity is a manifestation of curvature of 4- dimensional (3 space + 1 time) space-time produced by matter (metric equation ? g. and. Perception of sound. Lecture 8. Pre-reading. : . §16.3. Fourier theorem. Why sine waves?. Any wave shape can be represented as a superposition of normal modes (components). §15.8. Sound as Pressure Wave. 8. th. Grade Physical Science . Question: . What type of wave is a sound wave? . Waves. 3/10/15. Wave. —a repeating movement or disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space. . All waves carry energy without transporting matter from place to place. . Physics 4. Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s Equations. Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s equations summarize the relationships between electric and magnetic fields. A major consequence of these equations is that an accelerating charge will produce electromagnetic radiation.. Doppler Effect. ~apparent change in frequency of a wave due to the motion of the source of the wave.. If the object is moving towards the observer the frequency will appear to increase. If the object is moving away from the observer the frequency will appear to decrease. Prairie High School Physics. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.. Chapter Contents. Section 1: Oscillations and Periodic Motion (This week). Section 2: The Pendulum (Monday). Section 3: Waves and Wave Properties (Thursday). Periodic Motion – any repeated motion with regular time intervals. Simple Harmonic Motion – vibration about an equilibrium position in which a restoring force is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium . Electromagnetic Radiation. Electromagnetic waves perpendicular waves combing the electric and magnetic fields. . Electromagnetic waves are produced when an electric charge vibrates or accelerates and can travel through empty space or through matter. . Seismic .

A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space.. Energy can be carried away from it’s source by a wave. As a wave travels, it does work on everything in it’s path. Energy is moving, not water. orbital motion. energy is transferred via circular motions. water (and gull) return to original position. the wave form moves forward. Motion decreases with depth. At. a depth of ½ of the wavelength, the motion is not significant.. water. waves.... 4/5/2019. Physics 214 Fall 2010. 2. 1S-13 Slinky on Stand. Creating longitudinal compression waves in a slinky. What happens when you pull back and release one end of the slinky . ? . The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was the first person to truly understand the fundamental nature of light. . He proved in 1865 that an electromagnetic disturbance should propagate in free space with a speed equal to that of light..
